My Ramblin' Boy Performed by: Tom Paxton [Intro] | G | G C | | G | D | G | [Verse]
         D  D7              G
He was a man and a friend always

              D                       G
He stuck with me through the hard old days

         G          C      G
He never cared if I had no dough

           D   D7                G
We rambled round in the rain and snow
[Chorus]
              G       C        G
And here's to you, my ramblin' boy

May all your ramblin' bring you joy

In Tulsa town, we chanced to stray

                D               G
we thought we'd try to work one day

              G      C        G
The boss said he had room for one

            D  D7            G
says my old pal, we'd rather bum
[Chorus]
              G       C        G

[Verse]
         D  D7           G
Late one night in a hobo camp

            D               G
the weather it was cold and damp

           G             C       G
He got the chills and he got 'em bad

              D  D7         G
They took the only friend I had
[Chorus]
              G       C        G
And here's to you, my ramblin' boy

             D  D7              G
May all your ramblin' bring you joy

          G       C        G
Here's to you, my ramblin' boy

             D  D7           | G   | D   | G   | 
May all your ramblin bring you joy
[Verse]
           D  D7           G
He left me here, to ramble on

           D               G
My ramblin pal is dead and gone

           G       C      G
If when we die, we go somewhere

            D  D7                G
I bet you a dollar, he's ramblin there.
[Chorus]
              G       C        G
And here's to you, my ramblin' boy

             D  D7              G
May all your ramblin' bring you joy

          G       C        G
Here's to you, my ramblin' boy

             D  D7           | G   | D   | G   |  
May all your ramblin bring you joy
